After being financially raped by Verizon, for almost 5 years, I finally canceled my accounts. The final straw was continually going over my web allowance at $15/GB in overage charges, no matter what plan I upgraded to.
I had heard that I could activate my Verizon iPhone 5 thru Straight Talk, even though they do not advertise to be Verizon compatible. So for $45/month Unlimited everything ($65/month Unlimited Intl. ) I took a chance. It cost $65 for the SIM card, and my first month of Unlimited. You can choose to auto pay each month, or manually pay. You must order the SIM thru the straighttalk.com website. Now thru 5/13 it's free Overnight FedEx Shipping.
I received my card yesterday. It is a standard size SIM, and the iPhone requires a nano size. I went into panic mode thinking I had been duped! After a quick Google search, and a 3 min instructional video on YouTube, I trimmed the card down to size, popped it in, and well.... Here I am posting this Thread, with my iPhone.
How's the service you ask? Well they all use each others towers, and presently I'm driving up near the Adirondack's, with full service!
